BREAKING: President Trump responds to travel ban being struck down

WASHINGTON, D.C. - FEBRUARY 8: (AFP-OUT) U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the Major Cities Chiefs Association (MCCA) Winter Meeting on February 8, 2017 in Washington, DC. During his speech, Trump said one of the main reasons he was elected was his stance on law and order. (Photo by Chris Kleponis-Pool/Getty Images)

Earlier, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order for the travel ban that would restrict immigration from certain Muslim majority countries. Since then, Trump has taken to Twitter, and in all caps stating “See you in court, the security of our nation is at stake!”

This indicates that Trump will most likely take the case to a higher court, however he may not find the going so easy there either. His won nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch will not be confirmed in time in order to help rule in on the ban. Furthermore, the ban only had a 90 day lifespan, and would likely end before the Supreme Court could even take up the case at all.
